Re: trump off the CO ballot
Here in America, the poor can rise to the top, though, and the rich aren't automatically able to gain political power. True, anybody can get political power if they can raise enough money . The candidate with the biggest war chest wins. That's objectively false. I've seen analyses asking that very ...

Re: trump off the CO ballot
It surprises me that anyone can think that America is a democracy. It isn't. America is a plutocracy wearing a democracy's shirt, and not a very clean one at that. I would challenge you to show me any modern democracy that doesn't have elements of plutocracy in it. Here in America, the poor can ris...

Re: trump off the CO ballot
that ship has already sailed, imho. (Stated in regards to democracy) One of the biggest problems in America today is that people don't realize how good things are. We really do have democracy. It isn't perfect. Lots of room for improvement, but we basically have it. If we ever lose it, people will ...

"A step back in time': America's Catholic Church sees an immense shift toward the old ways" https://www.yahoo.com/news/step-back-time-americas-catholic-040718410.html In case you're interested. Vatican II didn't really work out very well for the Catholic Church. Liberalisation in general ...

Re: Planet America
Meanwhile, our once and (potentially) future President is on trial. There are plenty of opinions on the subject, but, honestly, people just aren't talking about it. And I'll bet that not one person in 10, especially those ones that have the opinions, could tell you what the (allegedly?) criminal asp...

Re: Planet America
It's kind of sad that they have a boilerplate on standby for when this sort of thing happens. Not if, when. I was thinking the same thing. I suspect that there's a method behind that madness, though. I suspect they are deathly afraid of lawsuits, and the boilerplate versions have been vetted by law...

Re: Planet America
The bizarre nature of the principal's letter has an explanation. It was a form letter.
With that, there's nothing really mysterious about the case. I'm sure if there are new developments of interest, the YouTube algorithm will inform me.

Re: Planet America
About the only thing you can say honestly about that situation is "we don't know everything". In fact, we know very little. True. But when we read a news story, we fill in details in our mind's eye. Then, something comes along that doesn't fit. In this case, similar to the furry case, the...
